Well, my comment at one point on the flow/control of information eventually going back to "Watergate" days on the bench have now been announced officially by the UN...the world's next major war is to take place in Cyberspace. I mentioned in a previous article somewhere that information will be placed on gum wrappers on the leaf of a tree to be picked up at an agreed upon time or naval plans buried in a farmer's field to be dug-up and buried. Tongue-N-Cheek.... me thinx that going back is somewhat impossible as to where we are now in terms of technology and all doors open... however, not totally impossible.

I've studied the structure of corporations and when one becomes so centralized that the chain of communication often breaks down somewhere far from the center. Same with Cyber-Space....the real question is how does one break the links in the chain and "decentralize" without using technology to do so with all her back-doors...well, me thinx it's not possible. Encryption/codes are a myth. They all depend upon redundancies of either 0's or 1's or in laymen terms..symbols and so can be spotted or picked up/out. Simply codes and encryptions used as iron doors which in all reality are passports to information/control.

So, back to breaking the global village chain-links or "decentralizing"...me thinx that either this super-highway has a bulldozer come in an cut the highways into pieces and partitions that are very separate entities or this UN warning of Cyber-war is/will be unavoidable. De-technology may very well be the next step after cutting the highways/links in the chain away from each other. As long as we're dealing in 0's and 1's we're dealing with commonalities of thinking/imagination and a large degree of finiteness that boils down to discovery of serval entities perhaps even in syncronization. The atomic bomb surely wasn't only being pursued in just the US alone at the time. There was a race.

Right now, me thinx we've seen/are seeing pennies/dollars and banking systems being drained one small bite at a time as a fog passes by the "eyes" of detectors. Friends who travel the world around tell me that the world is seated in "materialism/materialistic pursuits" like never before. So, back to the banks and pennies.

However, there are so many pockets of poverty/political tea pots boiling over in very poor and countries with a high number of "techies" born each day that perhaps the UN is on track. Again, gum wrappers on the leaves of trees. As for North Korea--- likely only a small tip of the iceberg with political steam-- enough to hit the media.
